include the following:
 Protocols window: defines new liquid transfer protocols and edit or
delete existing protocols; run the protocols.
 Labware window: defines new destination plates, and edit or delete
existing destination plate definitions.

control most of the Echo liquid handler motor function and perform
diagnostic procedures.
 Calibration window: performs calibration procedures.
 Advanced window: changes transfer options; reset or shut down the
Echo controller.
